3B9FR (Rodriguez Is), TO60CNES (French Space agency), L21RCA (Argentina special), V51WH (Namibia) were all very sought after.
I like the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) pic so here it is.
News about the James Web Space Telescope
The Ariane 5 rocket and its precious cargo blasted off from the Guiana Space Centre, also known as Europe's Spaceport, in French Guiana. The mission is an international collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The JWST project has been in development for over two decades, according to the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which is operating the new telescope. NASA TV has plenty to show you. It will be a while before we get pictures back from it.
I worked a few FT4 stations on Ten Metres but there were many more 20 and 40 so strayed down there. I’m still looking for Hawaii and Wyoming for Worked all States but no luck yet.

Sun: AR2916 is big and quiet. The sunspot has a relatively simple 'beta-class' magnetic field that poses little threat for strong flares. (Famous last words?) SDO/HMI. Plus there are at least three other sun spots.
The footy in the UK has very nearly succumbed completely to Covid. Lots of postponed matches. Stoke are two games behind. They are supposed to play Thursday evening against Derby, maybe?
Cricket? Who’s playing cricket, not England. Beaten by a superior Australian side by an innings and a dozen or so runs in the third Ashes test. England second innings 68 all out. A shambles and shameful. Sydney is the 4th test. Time to chop out the dead wood and start looking to some new saplings. My son who lives in Sydney has not been able to get a ticket. I think he’s glad
